These Terms and Conditions of Purchase Order (“Terms and Conditions”) and the purchase order(s) to which these Terms and Conditions apply (each, a “Purchase Order”) constitute the complete, integrated agreement between Vendor and Deep Trekker Inc. (the "Buyer") relating to the goods and services described in the Purchase Order (the "Goods"). All capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Purchase Order. Each Purchase Order is an offer to purchase the Goods in accordance with the payment, delivery and other terms set forth in the Purchase Order and any of the following acts by Vendor shall constitute acceptance of the offer: (1) signing and returning the Purchase Order to the Buyer, acknowledging the terms set forth in the Purchase Order or (2) delivering the Goods in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Order. Buyer has the right to withdraw the Purchase Order at any time prior to acceptance. The terms and provisions contained in these Terms and Conditions are fully incorporated by reference into the Purchase Order. Vendor may not modify, change, renounce or waive any term or condition hereof without Buyer’s express written consent. Any terms and conditions proposed in Vendor’s acceptance or in any acknowledgment, invoice, or other form of Vendor that add to, vary from, or conflict with the terms herein are hereby rejected. Such proposal of additional, different or varying terms by Vendor shall not operate as a rejection of Buyer’s offer and Buyer's offer shall be deemed accepted without such additional, different or varying terms
2.1 Vendor warrants to Buyer that the Goods furnished under the Purchase Order will be new, of good quality, free from any defects or deficiencies in workmanship or materials and designed and manufactured in accordance with good industry practices and standards. Goods delivered to Buyer not conforming to these requirements, including substitutions not properly approved and authorized, shall be considered defective. In addition to the warranties provided for above, Vendor represents and warrants to Buyer that all Goods furnished under the Purchase Order shall be free from failure under ordinary usage for a period of eighteen (18) months from the date of delivery. All Goods not conforming to these standards shall be considered defective.
2.2 If the Goods do not comply with the foregoing warranty, then Buyer may, at its election and at Vendor’s expense: (i) return the Goods for replacement or repair within a reasonably expedited period specified by Buyer; (ii) require the Goods to be replaced or repaired in the field within a reasonably expedited period specified by Buyer; or (iii) return the Goods to Vendor in exchange for a full refund. Vendor will pay or reimburse Buyer for any damages, costs and expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with any non-conforming Goods. If any other components have been integrated with a non-conforming Good, and, as a result of such integration, the other components do not function properly or are otherwise affected, Vendor will compensate Buyer for the costs related to the purchase of such integrated components.
2.3 Vendor further warrants that all Goods will: (i) comply with all applicable laws, regulations, certification requirements for the design, manufacture and shipment of the Goods; (ii) be free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, and other claims of title; and (iii) the Goods do not and will not, directly or indirectly, infringe any third party Intellectual Property Rights or other proprietary right.
2.4 All warranties provided herein shall survive any termination of the Purchase Order by Buyer due to the fault, error, negligence, breach of contract or breach of warranty of Vendor.
3.1 During the inspection period, Buyer may, with respect to any Good: (i) reject all or a portion of any nonconforming Goods; (ii) accept all or a portion of such nonconforming Goods with a price reduction for the cost of repair or the diminution of value; or (iii) accept any conforming Goods and reject the rest. No inspections by Buyer shall supplant Vendor’s warranty or other obligations hereunder.
3.2 Within thirty (30) days of Vendor’s receipt of Buyers notification of a nonconformity, Vendor shall investigate the nonconformity, deliver to the Buyer a written report of its investigation and conclusions, and formulate a corrective action plan acceptable to the Buyer’s quality department (“Quality”). Once approved by Quality, Vendor must then implement such corrective action plan.
3.3 Vendor shall maintain complete inspection records for all Goods which shall be available to Buyer during performance of an Order and until the later of: (i) seven (7) years after final payment, (ii) final resolution of any dispute involving the Goods delivered hereunder, (iii) the latest time required by an Order, (iv) the latest time required by applicable laws and regulations, or (v) as otherwise directed by Buyer.

Vendor shall deliver the Goods to Buyer on the requested arrival date as set forth in the Purchase Order (the “Requested Arrival Date”). If Vendor determines that it will not be able to deliver the Goods on the Requested Arrival Date, Vendor shall immediately notify Buyer and Buyer shall have the option, in its sole discretion, to accept the Goods after the Requested Arrival Date or to cancel the Purchase Order.
4.2 The delivery terms for Goods shall be FCA Vendor’s facility (Incoterms 2020). Title and risk of loss shall pass to Buyer upon receipt and acceptance of Goods at Buyer’s facility.

Vendor shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Buyer and its affiliates, and each of their directors, managers, members, officers, shareholders, employees, agents or other intermediaries, consultants, subcontractors and suppliers (together, the “Buyer Parties”) from and against any and all claims, damages and losses, including but not limited to, attorneys' fees, costs and expenses, resulting from Vendor's acts or omissions related to the Goods or the Purchase Order or Vendor's breach of the terms, representations, warranties, provisions or covenants of the Purchase Order or these Terms and Conditions. Such obligation shall not be construed to negate, abridge, or reduce other rights or obligations of indemnity which would otherwise exist. This indemnification shall survive performance of the Purchase Order or termination of the Purchase Order and these Terms and Conditions.

Buyer shall have no liability for any penalties and/or interest associated with the failure of the Vendor to timely collect and remit to the appropriate authority.
